Leadership

Rob Hay - Leading in the Midst of Uncertainty

We quiz visiting lecturer and former Principal Rev Dr Rob Hay on leading in the midst of uncertainty. Rob recently completed his PhD on the topic, with particular reference to ideas of complexity, and explains why it is important for leaders to acknowledge uncertainty and find new ways of leading.

Join Faculty members Rosie Button, Sarah Hay, Chris Ducker and Tim Davy as we talk with Rob and get our heads around complexity theory, discover its very practical implications for leaders, and realise we were ‘lab rats’ in Rob’s research!

Rev Dr Rob Hay is Head of Learning and Ministry Development for the Diocese of Leicester. Before taking up that role in 2017 he was Principal at Redcliffe College and continues to teach on Redcliffe’s Leadership in a Complex World MA Programme.

If you want to explore your own role as a leader further why not sign up for our Leadership in a Complex World MA programme? You can begin it at our Summer School this July, at our Autumn or Spring long weekend intensives, or even at our Oceania hub in Australia in late January 2019.

Alternatively, why not audit one of the leadership modules as a non-validated ‘Active Participant’ at our UK Summer School? ‘An Introduction to Global Leadership’ runs 16-20 July and ‘Organisational Development and Cultural Change’ runs 23-27 July.

Find out why Redcliffe’s faculty are getting excited about the Summer!

What are they teaching at this July’s UK Summer School intensive? Why do they all think their module is the best? Who do you think is right?!

In this episode some of Redcliffe’s lecturers reflect on what is on offer at this year’s Summer School (9-27 July) and why they are passionate about their modules. Listen in to get a flavour of what Redcliffe courses look like, why they might be relevant to your ministry, and who’s involved in teaching them. In the conversation you’ll hear from Colin Edwards, Rosie Button, Sarah Hay, Rob Hay, Chris Ducker, and Tim Davy.

Every July Redcliffe holds our UK Summer School intensive for those doing part-time MA programmes in Contemporary Missiology, Leadership, or Member Care, or pursuing continuing professional development. We’re also looking forward to hosting a number of visiting lecturers in July, including Chris Wright, Israel Olofinjana, Kate Coleman, and Krish Kandiah.

What excites you about mission where you are?

What happens when a Bishop, a Pastor-Theologian, and a Principal take a break from a Redcliffe Trustees meeting? We managed to get these trustees in a room to ask them what’s exciting them about mission in their contexts!

Martyn Snow is Bishop of Leicester and Chair of Redcliffe’s Board of Trustees. In a very multicultural diocese that comprises rural and urban settings, what are the challenges and encouragements for churches engaged in God’s mission?

Israel Olofinjana is Pastor of Woolwich Central Baptist Church in London and recently joined Redcliffe as a Trustee. He is the founding director of Centre for Missionaries from the Majority World and recently edited the volume, African Voices: Towards African British Theologies. He will also be giving some lectures in our 2018 Summer School module, The Practice of Christian Mission in European Contexts. For Israel’s context, key issues include regeneration, youthwork, wealth and poverty, crime, and housing.

Rosalee Velloso Ewell, Redcliffe’s Principal, shares about her own home setting in Birmingham and talks about being ‘neighbours on purpose’ in a diverse community.

We are thrilled to welcome Rosalee Velloso Ewell as our new Principal!

In this first episode of the podcast Rosalee shares about her childhood in Brazil, her theological education, and her previous research. She also shares about some of her current writing projects, what she was doing prior to taking up her new role, and why joining Redcliffe has felt like ‘coming home’.

As well as getting to know Rosalee we also talk a bit about our hopes and dreams for the podcast.

Redcliffe College offers part-time, blended-mode MA programmes to help mission practitioners deepen their understanding and develop their practice.
